You have entire rest of the world, almost 8 billion people outside of US… Yet somehow this is different?

IE. We like the idea of slavery! Someone to do the dirty work while we act superior…while shopping at Walmart.

Lemmy? Pick any platform. It’s full of “experts” shouting into the void for years now. It’s sickening how these people have the same rights to vote. (/A obviously)

Your common folk knows Jack shit about their own politics and even less so about global ones. It’s good to hold people accountable but this? This is just madness. There is zero nuance and only goes from one extreme to other. Yes we all want zero civilian deaths, full tolerance, equal rights and for police to be better. But are there any real solutions out here? Ofc not. Just another cave dweller parroting same arguments they read somewhere. Critical thinking is a thing of the past. And it’s sad as I haven’t got an answer either.

But see, that’s where my issue with the article title is. It’s about her life. What does it have to do with US? I get her point and it’s fucking horrible. I’ve met people from Iraq seeking asylum and I’ve heard their heartbreaking stories.

As a fellow immigrant… I expected a story about how her life is in US currently. It’s a bait and switch title and to me, sub par journalism.

But emotions are running hot here and no matter what I say, I’m the bad guy.

Was it tho?

Don’t get me wrong… It’s awful racism is fucking shit and I’m subject to it as immigrant a lot. Obviously not to this level or anyone that was the wrong colour after 9/11.

But what did this article say? What opportunities/jobs/friends has she lost? Why not go into personal affairs, that’s what the title lead me to believe the article was about.

Show us the daily struggles of immigrants and racism in full force! It just boggled down to yet another “generic” preaching to those already in your favour? This isn’t swaying anyone, let’s be real here. Those that need to read it, won’t.

Its the easiest shit to get away with. Hating and masse. Its number one strategy which worked so well against “my people” and this journalist is feeding more into it! Show me your personal story, if you only show numbers, there’s no personality, your people just became a statistic.

I hope my point comes across.

CROCS!? Nah, cheap flip flops he bought 6 years ago with the sole practically worn down to solid sheets of plastic.

There’s a running joke in my business. The messier / longer my beard is, the busier IT is.

I wear probably more office csual, collared shirt and some straight trousers/ jeans. But I do it for myself because it’s comfortable. When it gets hot I’m wearing shorts. But throughout the year a nice long sleeved top or a shirt. But it’s stuff I wear day to day anyway.
